The frozen body of 82-year-old Asa Pool was found in an out-building on his property near Pittsburg Wednesday, Feb. 26.

Dr. Kiyoshi Furumoto, assistant Van Buren county medical examiner, said death occurred about a week before. He said death was due to a heart attack.

Pool lived alone on the property.

He was found by his son, Conrad Pool, of Fairfield, who had come to visit him. Conrad Pool told Dr. Furumoto that he last visited his father on Feb. 17 and found him in apparent good health at that time.

Mr. Pool was born at Mt. Zion on Dec. 11, 1881. He was a retired blacksmith and a veteran of the First World War. He had been a resident of the Pittsburg community for 35 years.

Mr. Pool was married to Madaline Cook on Aug. 30, 1924. She died in 1943.
